Weddings Lovely offers tips in finding the right wedding planner:
Tip 1 - Wedding planning is a large growing industry. There are many out there. The best planners have certifications and are authorized and endorsed by professional associations.
Tip 2 - Be upfront about your budget. A good planner should add value by making their pricing affordable to you without subracting from the total cost of your wedding. Avoid major re-adjustment of your budget to fit his/her service costs. This will only get you into trouble.
Tip 3 - Find a planner you get along with or click well with. Your wedding planner is a professional, but should not clash with your personality. Have fun during the process!
